Product Information

As the bit is also non-guided e.g. it does not feature a bearing it can also be used to great effect for hollowing out objects.

You can also cut rabbets with a table-mounted or handheld router and a rabbeting bit. This type of bit features an extrusion that forms the tongue of the rabbet, and a bearing on the end to prevent the bit from digging more deeply than the length of that extrusion.A rabbet is like a dado that’s missing a side. It’s essentially a notch cut into the edge of a board or piece of plywood.

Dadoes are square notches cut into the surface of a piece of lumber that hold the end of a mating board. Dadoes generally run across the grain. When cut with the grain, they’re referred to as grooves. Dadoes are a perfect when building shelving or cabinetry as a way to join shelves and partitions. For our bookcase project, we reinforced our dadoes with screws, although that added strength isn’t essential to the joint. Attractive: You can place the seam where it isn’t visible — say, under a countertop — and the fasteners can be hidden with filler or made from doweling. The configurable rabbet bit I bought (changeable bearings - think they're called "step washers"?) only goes to 1/2"... about 13mm. I have been looking for a rabbet router bit that will allow me to get to dead on the 19mm... but it seems to not exist? The deeper the rabbet is, the more support it provides. The vertical side also makes it easier to align the pieces of wood forming the joint. How To Make a Rabbet Joint Sets such as these include all the essential router bits you will need for pretty much any carpentry project and although they may not give the most accurate of cuts or stay sharp for long, they will allow you to practice and hone your skills to the point that you can then justify spending a little more on some decent bits. Router Bit TypesTo be fair, I've only really used my router for putting nice edges on right-angled pieces of wood, plus my latest attempt at a rabbet. What I would like to do, though, is (realising that I must bite the bullet for building some jig / sled type thing) build myself a crosscut sled so I bought some 18mm plywood last night, and some wood for the runners and some for the fences... I do my work in the garden so if the weather holds out I'll give a crosscut sled for the Bosch GTS 10 J a go later today... V-bits as with most other decorative cutting bits come in a range of different shapes and angles that can be used to form everything from a deep thin channel to a wide shallow one.
